Previously known as LITD.

Can you recall the last time we played pies in a Q?

I still think the cats are carried by the wins they accumulate at Fortress Kardinia. Not saying they're not a good side but without their home advantage they would be struggling this year. They did have a bad run with injuries but I do believe Kardinia gives them probably the strongest home advantage in the comp.

Harmes or from what I've heard about Chandler in the praccy game...him for Spargo. I'm sure Petty is out for Tommo. Smith covers a lot of options as our new sub. I just wonder if he's worth having one more roll fwd maybe in place of Jvr. I suppose that call can be made on the day of Roo is struggling. But yea, I'd forgotten about Harmes. Good call.

Don't get the negativity of ..." He's not a fwd and he'll never be a forward." Like saying Mason Cox isn't an Afl player and he'll never be an Afl player.

I wonder if Hibbo will play next year. Is he contracted?

I also don't think the money we've spent to acquire Grundy is that huge. Not these days anyways.

Just googled and your right. We have had a total of three. Two currently playing the game in Hogan and Jackson.

Huge wrap that he was chosen to play on Cameron and he didn't let anyone down.

Plus rapping up the Ashes

Tx for posting this. Lousy stat for the dons though. Have to say they are as likely as saints and dogs to drop out.

How many have we had. I know Jackson and I think Jesse Hogan won too. Is that it? Guess the jury is still out on Jackson. Hogan has been solid in the games I've watched but the poor bloke has had battles of the ground as well to be fair.

I stand corrected. I wouldn't include Callum Mills but absolutely on the others. That's probably almost a third of them though. Not a majority which is interesting. But certainly it's more than a few. My bas Tx Ldvc. Totally forgot about Selwood ( probably subconscious). But to be fair a lot...most of, them still don't become stars. Bit like top draft picks to a lesser extent. It's hit and miss a lot of the times.

Gee, with the cats storming home with a few Kardinia games left, our lions win was huge in so many ways.

No. Detracts from true finals.

The kid deserves recognition and some accolades but hey let's just keep him on the down low. He's our secret weapon. Besides few rising stars become champions.

Yea. It's a crapshoot at this point in time. I think Goody has given up on Petty fwd and I'm not sure if we will see Smithy trialled there unless through injury. Will Milk continue with his winning form too? It's interesting times but would love to see Jvr and Bbb kick seven

I don't think you can really discount any team this year. Season has and is incredibly even from fith to thirteenth. Even Freo beat us . The blues just knocked off the power so I'm not confident now against any mob. I thought we'd crush gws but nope. Even the Toigs are making a charge for finals. I'm just glad this one is at the G and not at Adelaide where dob are ignored.

Well I think we will find out very soon.

Hope so.

These are the teams we have struggled to put away. Teams like giants. Having said that, Crows haven't faired well across their border and at this stage of the season we really need to come out smash them. We are six rounds from finals ...fourth v twelfth. No excuses for this one. Need to build our momentum and have a convincing win.

Agreed. Max needs a chop out and Grundy is more capable at doing this than Jvr. Bbb has shown some good form and Jvr has been off the boil somewhat. So Grundy in for Jvr. Simples. Thats two very tall talls in Bbb and Grundy. Fritta and Milk. Two very hard match ups. Spargo makes room for Fritta.

There's a lot to be sorted before finals . First off let me make one thing easier. Bbb stays. He hasn't killed it but has shown glimpses of his old form. Some excellent leads and marks. He's not bad in the contest either and his height and leap are a worry for every teams best defender. Kozzie stays. Didn't kill it either but still kicked three very good goals. Getting him in the middle early helps. I say we rotate Kozzie and Trac. Speaking of our new fwd, Trac is killing it there. Eight goals in two weeks. Well done Goody Our fwd mix....Grundy or Jvr? Does it have to be so black and white? What about Smith? Clearly Jvr or Grundy have to help Max out in the ruck. Can we play both? We have been top heavy with smalls why not go the other way. The real burning issue may be if Milks form continues. I mean someone has to step aside for Fritta. Not sure if there is room for Smith. I do think he makes the perfect sub. Just needs to be used earlier. On present form, I'm inclined to have a fwd line that includes Bbb, Milk, Grundy and Fritta ( get well soon)with Spargo and Jvr going out. I really hope Melksham can keep that form going. Not to take a potshot but he's struggled in the past. But gee he was moving around like he did when we picked him up. Apologies to Jvr and Spargo but come finals I want two talls in Bbb and Grundy. Two mediums in Melksham and Fritta. As for crumbing, Kozzie, Nibbler, Viney and Trac have this covered. Feel sorry for Jvr and Chandler who have really stepped up this year. And apologies to Spargo. Also think Smith is unlucky but he certainly makes the best sub choice than the others.

Despite the impact it deserves an easy three. You can't go around taking swings at people even if you are weak as....

I'll give it a go but of I'm not liberated, do know that I accept checks.

Funny that if someone told me that we kicked 105 points, I would have assumed we cruised home. Especially after our first four goals. Been a while since we've kicked over a hundred. Funnier that lions kicked a hundred first. Not much of a percentage win but what a bloody win. Watched the last ten mins three times.
